Atlanta’s Paw-scars Gala Gives Dogs a Red-Carpet Moment Tonight

Friday, September 25, 2026

Tonight, Atlanta-area dogs get a turn on the red carpet. PAWS Atlanta is marking its 60th anniversary with its “Paw-scars” gala, a benefit that puts a doggy runway alongside cocktails, a silent auction and live casino games. The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Sinclair in Sandy Springs, Georgia. PAWS Atlanta lists the event details here.

The runway is the evening’s most camera-ready detail, but the occasion is also a fundraiser for the animal organization’s care and community work. PAWS Atlanta says proceeds support its lifesaving efforts. The group marks 60 years since its founding in 1966, and describes a mission that includes sheltering cats and dogs, adoption, foster care and community programs. Its anniversary page explains the milestone.

A dog runway gives the gala a joyful center of gravity: four-legged guests get the spotlight while supporters gather for the work that keeps animals safe and cared for. The organizers describe the party as a celebration of the people and animals who have shaped PAWS Atlanta across six decades.
